Sunday July 6, 1980
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Switching their normal roles, Fernando Arroyo started and Jerry Koosman relieved as the Twins defeated the Rangers, 4-1. Arroyo made his first start for the Twins and allowed three hits in 7 2/3 innings before being spiked on a play at first base. Koosman then took over and earned his second save of the season. Mickey Rivers had a single for the Rangers, batting safely in his 18th straight game. [The Sporting News]
